    I just purchased a brand new TRD Sport.
    I did not pay too much attention in the begining about a slight Rumble/ Vibration at very low speed.
    I first thot maybe its the road.

    I drove it again around my neighborhood at low speed and did notice the Vibration in the steering and felt in the wheels.
    I accelerated an put the vehicle in neutral to see if it would go away.
    No.
    So its not the engine or Tranny..
    It is something else.
    This truck has only 53 miles.

    What is this darn annoying Vibration at deceleration at very low speed?
    Its a Brand new Toyota Tacoma.

    I'm gonna go see the dealer today.

    Stay tuned.

    First thing to do might be to check your tire pressure

    For what it's worth, I bought 2020 trd off-road last year and it did what you're describing. Couple trips to the dealer and they told me they can't find anything wrong. I made service manager drive with me until it happened. They looked at it again and there was no resolution.

    Interestingly, I was in a 20,000 front end collision and after the repairs - the rumbling/vibrating went away.

    The only things that they replaced that I could think would affect it were the driver's side wheel or some of the subframe. (Can't remember the part #s)

    Welcome to TW! Likes others have said: check your tire pressure to make sure it matches what is on the inside door sticker.

    Maybe there was a bolt not torqued to spec from the factory and after the repairs, the bolt is now tight.

    Equal isn't the answer. What the pressure is is the answer. Most dealer preps are over inflated.

    Look at your door jamb and adjust to those if needed.

    Eliminate the free / easy stuff first

    Tacoma Folks,
    So I went to the dealership yesterday and spent all day driving with at least 10 Ppl. They all noticed the vibration. A few mechanics drove and changed wheels etc. Nothing changed.
    I drove 3 other Tacomas and experienced noise in 1 other. Toyota hopefully will take a note of this.

    Since mine only had 80 or so miles on it and had purchased it less than 24 hrs. The dealership was nice enough to give me a different one.
    I now have a 2021 Tacoma Limited.
    I put 3" Lift with 33s
